Raleigh, N.C. - The NC State track and field squads took the quick trip over to Chapel Hill, N.C. this weekend, and competed in the UNC Invitational. Due to the bad weather this past week, the squads practice schedule was thrown off, and only the sprinters and throwers competed this weekend.

Crawford was also sixth in the shot put (47'05.75"), with Mitchell Pope taking fifth (56'01") in that same event. In the pole vault, both Eric Hoverstad and Steve Taylor cleared 15'07" to tie for fourth.
